My advice: just don't watch. A weak storyline and generally boring. The moments that are supposed to be thrilling are introduced by violin screeching, but they never live up to their expectation. The only thing this movie has going for it is the way reality and dreams sometimes flow through one another.
If you're looking for a thriller loosely based on a Biblical event but that actually give you chills, try The Sentinel or [REC]. Just don't waste your time on this one... 12 years ago -

Not exactly among the best horror movies I know. I almost disliked this movie, there are only a few reasons that kept me from doing so: AnnaSophia Robb as the little mysterious girl was amazing, and so was Idris Elba, as always. Plus, some scenes and effects were visually appealing and the general plot idea is not bad.
But firstly, most scenes were ruined before they could really get scary.
Secondly, the main character "Katherine" lost all her credibility for me pretty early on. How could a modern woman, a sceptic, who claims to have lost her faith in God act like she did? Going to this place full of religious fanatics who blame a little girl for a murder AND several plagues, going there with just one colleague by her side, after all that religious fanatics had once done to her own family... I just did not buy it. She could at least have called the police to investigate the murder while she ran her scientific tests. She probably should have called a crisis intervention team or a psychologist as well, to protect the child and find out what's the matter with her.
Maybe it's just my personal opinion, but for me this ruined the whole movie. All in all, close to a dislike. 10 years 4 months ago -
